Saturday: #15 Connecticut 6, Creighton 5

Each game was turned by a crucial misstep from Creighton. On Sunday an error in the second opened the door for the Huskies to score four unearned runs. Saturday saw two defensive errors and a critical wild pitch factor in the Huskies' pushing across the game-winning run in the eighth.
The star of the weekend was Friday starter Dylan Tebrake. Despite taking the loss, Tebrake was the first Bluejay of the season to notch double-digit strikeouts with a career-high 13 and the first Creighton pitcher to post a complete-game.
